UNSPSC 41113900: Soil measuring equipment

UNSPSC 41113900 Soil measuring equipment is a Class code covering laboratory and field instrumentation used to analyze, test, and characterize soil and related construction materials. State and local governments procure soil compactors with integrated analyzers, Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT) truck-mounted sounding units, and comprehensive on-call geotechnical and materials testing services under this code. The issuing bodies span state transportation departments, municipal utilities, counties, and city utilities departments, with recent activity from Texas Department of Transportation, Michigan Department of Transportation, Henry County Georgia, the City of Augusta Georgia, and Keys Energy Services (City of Key West Florida).

Recent procurement activity concentrates in the Southeast and Upper Midwest. The Texas Department of Transportation posted an IFB on October 6, 2026 for a Proctor Soil Compactor with Soil Analyzer and related equipment and accessories, with responses due October 27, 2026; bidders must register on the Texas Comptroller's Centralized Master Bidders List and submit through the Euna Procurement/Bonfire Hub platform. The Michigan Department of Transportation issued an RFP on June 26, 2026 for a truck-mounted Cone Penetrometer Test sounding unit with an intended award to Applied Research Associates, Inc. at $1,011,529.00 based on a single passing proposal. Henry County Georgia and the City of Augusta Georgia both solicited on-call geotechnical and materials testing services—Henry County through an RFQ due September 9, 2026 requiring GDOT prequalification in specified consultant classes, and Augusta through an RFP due September 11, 2026 calling for laboratory analysis, field testing, and engineering consultation over a five-year contract term with unit pricing. Keys Energy Services issued parallel RFPs for electrical insulating oil testing services for power transformers and voltage regulators, though these opportunities sit at the margins of the soil measuring equipment scope.
